Here's a possibility. Say cell B2 in some worksheet is the linked cell. Then this code would move the focus out of that cell any time it reaches there...
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
With ActiveWindow
If Target.Address = "$B$2" Then
SendKeys "{Tab}"
End If
End With
End Sub

Subject: [dba-Tech] Excel protection question
I've run into a peculiar problem with an Excel sheet. I'm using Forms option buttons in a group box -- in a protected sheet. Unfortunately, if I don't unlock the linked cell (linked to the option buttons), I can't click the option buttons themselves.
Okay, so I unlock the linked cell, but then, in protect mode, Excel selects that cell. I don't want to select that cell -- I want Excel to select the first cell in an input range and ignore that I've unlocked that linked cell.
Any advice?
Susan H.

Firefox has been talking (posting) about its new Tab-Candy project for some
time (since last May) and it is finally ready... at least for those who are
willing to try the alpha version.
For those of you who do not seen or heard of this browser tech jump check
out the video attached to the following link. This new set of innovations
looks like a real winner:

I suspect that their competition is currently working on versions of their

But I don't think there's anything there that will help.

Did you see this one in the last response? That's the closest I can come.
Last week we asked:
Why can't I see appointments in Month view? Specifically, the question was
about Outlook 2007. As the question implies, Month view doesn't display
appointments, which seems a bit odd.
Outlook 2007 has a new view option that gives you a measure of transparency
into your day. You can display just a bit, or a lot-it's up to you. For
instance, the above calendar shows only a few day events because the detail
level is set to low. Select the appropriate detail level for your needs:
a.. Low (the default) shows only all day events (hiding all appointments).
b.. Medium shows all day events and displays a line for appointments. The
length of the appointment determines the line's thickness.
c.. High shows all day events and all appointments, which can get a bit
messy if you're really popular...I mean busy.
To change the detail level, simply click the appropriate setting just to the
right of the view tabs (at the top of the screen). In Outlook 2010, select
detail settings from the Month button.
Month view is a tight fit, so a low or medium detail setting provides a
high-level view of your days, without all the specific details. With a quick
glance, you can determine how busy (or not) you are. If you need more
detail, click High.

I'm using a protected sheet with several unlocked cells for input purposes. The linked cell for the option buttons must be unlocked to store the option button value. Having this cell unlocked is just proving to be a real problem because of the input cells -- the input cycle keeps selecting the linking cell, which of course, I don't want.
I can't figure a way around this other than just doing away with the option buttons altogether.
Thanks!

Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] Outlook Calendar view
Did you see this one in the last response? That's the closest I can come.
Last week we asked:
Why can't I see appointments in Month view? Specifically, the question was
about Outlook 2007. As the question implies, Month view doesn't display
appointments, which seems a bit odd.
Outlook 2007 has a new view option that gives you a measure of transparency
into your day. You can display just a bit, or a lot-it's up to you. For
instance, the above calendar shows only a few day events because the detail
level is set to low. Select the appropriate detail level for your needs:
a.. Low (the default) shows only all day events (hiding all appointments).
b.. Medium shows all day events and displays a line for appointments. The
length of the appointment determines the line's thickness.
c.. High shows all day events and all appointments, which can get a bit
messy if you're really popular...I mean busy.
To change the detail level, simply click the appropriate setting just to the
right of the view tabs (at the top of the screen). In Outlook 2010, select
detail settings from the Month button.
Month view is a tight fit, so a low or medium detail setting provides a
high-level view of your days, without all the specific details. With a quick
glance, you can determine how busy (or not) you are. If you need more
detail, click High.

Subject: [dba-Tech] Exporting to Excel when Excel is not installed
Message-ID:
Hello All,
I have a server running a DotNetNuke application.
I want to export data to Excel format from a sql source. I can write a DLL
to do that, but I suspect that if Excel is not installed on the box, it will
not work. Is that so?
If I uploaded some of my Excel DLL's would it work then?
The db is SQL Express so I suspect I cannot use SSIS - which is a pity.
It is running in a shared hosting environment and I have what I think is
named "Medium Trust" privillages. AFAIK, this means that I would not be
able to run an Exe on the box.
I can schedule a DLL to be executed however through the in built scheduling
too.
any thoughts on how to achieve this?
Currently I am learning towards writing to a text file and naming is
data.xls which will trick excel into opening a text tab delimited file.
Any better ideas?
Thanks
Mark

Hi Mark:
I have never tried to move an Excel spread sheet into DNN. Without full SSIS
capabilities you would need an app to simulate the spreadsheets importing
feature... There are numerous listed...of course you could always roll your
own.
I do not think the placing of an Excel dll will do anything as this is a
website. As well to do anything major you would need full access to the
site. It would have to be something like an IIS plug-in as your DB does not
have extended import features.
If I find something I will post it here.
Jim

I'm trying to limit a cell to values between .01 and 100 -- I've tried a number of combos for the minimum and maximum limits (using Data Validation), but nothing seems to top out that top number. If I use between .01 and 100, it only allows decimals, as I expected. Using .01 and 100.99 allows any number, even values of 100.99, which confuses me.
For now, I'm using =IsNumber() in a custom rule -- eliminates text and that's all I'm really after.
I'd be interested to know why 100.99 (above) allows any value -- I expected it to object to 101 and over, but it doesn't

There is a Linux printer driver database for all printer/scanner available
drivers at:

I would recommend that your son follow the http://www.UbuntuForms.org. Here
is a thread that will help as Canon does not have any official Linux driver
support for that printer:

There are a lot more articles and help on this forum and there are solutions

He found the driver for the ip1900 but unfortunately it didn't recognize the
1800. So, still looking. I did forward the forum links but I think he's
been there as well.

Unfortunately not everything is free in Linux land, as I found when I went looking for a driver for my Canon i9900. Simply not available in open source form, and Canon seems to have little interest in supporting Linux.
However, if you are willing to part with some spondoolicks, you can get a very nice driver from...

It costs ?29.95.

The new battlefield of the web is going to be in the area of hardware
accelaration and the associated standards. Right now it appears that H.264
protocol maker is holding the one key to the one door and armed to the teeth
with patents.
A new open-web standard is now being developed called VP8 but will it
simplily, by the narrowness of the development room, have to tread on some
of H.264 patents specs and then open developers to law suits?
Below is a link to a very thoughtful discussion on the subject:

Subject: [dba-Tech] trojan.win32.generic!bt - how to remove
Message-ID: <4C87D627.9040504@torchlake.com>
Hi again,
My dad is having trouble with this trojan. Vipre reports
trojan.win32.generic!bt, and Dad thinks he has instructed Vipre to clean
the bugger - three days in a row, now. But, every time the scan is run,
it keeps reporting the trojan.
Dad originally called me because his Office shortcut toolbar was
misbehaving - when he clicked on the icon for Word, he got the message
that the program could not be started. We did a couple of system
restores and got to a place where the shortcut toolbar worked.
In the meantime, he reported repeated instances of the message that
Windows had recently recovered from a serious error, and did he want to
send the report. I think he clicked Send one time, and something
strange happened, but I don't know what - all of this is going on over
the phone, I can't see his screen, and he generally says things like
"Oh, there's that little thingy again, shall I get rid of it?" and
sometimes before I've been able to say "Tell me what little thingy
you're talking about, Dad," he's already clicked some choice, so it's
difficult to be sure about what's been going on on his screen. Now the
Windows has recovered message pops up a bunch and it takes many clicks
to tell it to go away.
It was during that part of the process that he told me Vipre had
reported this trojan three days in a row. We did go read a report that
indicated that the clean command had been canceled. It is not clear to
me whether Dad did or did not instruct Vipre to clean this little
bugger. Right now, he is running a Vipre scan and I am supposedly
returning to my work of grading my students' papers - we'll be in touch
again after the scan. But I thought I'd send out a call for help. Hey,
John Bartow, are you there?

I've been using TeamViewer for remote support. It's dead simple. If you
can get him to download and install it, you could run his box from your box.

My neighbors who I do occasional computer tech support for both click
and close dialog boxes without reading them or correctly responding to
them. Drives me crazy. As soon as the errorbox for - whatever - pops
up they click the close Xin the upper corner to close it. I ask them,
"What did it say?" and they - both the husband and the wife do this -
say "It ALWAYS says that". The last time I was over there I was
trying to "fix" their system so they could burn a CD with photos.
Turns out the error was coming from one CD burning program and we were
trying to use another which couldn't see the drive since the first one
had it locked. Answering the message to say "ignore" or "stop" or some
such thing cleared the problem. Sigh. They did buy me beer though ;-)

Rocky and Helmut,
Do I really want to take remote control of my dad's computer? I can see
being tied up even more often than I am now - if he thinks I can just
climb in and fix things whenever he runs across them (which is kind of
frequent).
I'll think about it, but that rather worries me. At least I will go
look at TeamViewer. Thanks.

Well Tina, that is the problem we all have with our relatives and friends.
There is no easy way out. But, wouldn't be easier if you would have their
computers to store frequently "restore points" and than if a problems
appears you just restore to a previous state? This way you spare yourself
the effort to find out what buttons they pressed or what else they did
wrong. They might loose some gimmicks they tried to install. But with their
level of computer knowledge they cold learn / understand that it is better
to keep their fingers off from this kind of activities.

the hourglass - uses 50% of the cpu - and is unresponsive - have to
terminate the process. There's a couple emails in there I'd like to see. I
tried copying the junk mail folder to a temp folder but when I open the temp
folder, same thing happens. The focus is on a bounced email in the junk
folder and so I suspect that's causing the problem somehow.
What to do? What to do?

Didn't help. As soon as the bad email got highlighted (and since it was the
last one in the group, it did when I clicked into the Junk folder) the app
hung with the hourglass. Since the bad boy was a bounced email, I'm
thinking maybe it had some virus in it. I'll do a scan of the box later
today but everything's working OK. I worked around it by marking one of my
accounts as junk, and sent myself an email from that account. So that one
was the one highlighted in the junk mail folder and I was able to retrieve
the email I needed to save and clean out the rest.

It could one of three things,
-A false positive and windows restores the file automatically every time he
reboots - improbable
-An infection that is partially cleaned and restores itself to some degree -
if his system and browser still works this is probably the case. Either use
Malwarebytes free version to try and remove all of it, call Sunbelt support
and work through it with them or wait until their definition updates take
care of it all the way.
-An infection that is partially cleaned and requires a reboot or full scan
to remedy but he isn't doing that - (given my experience with elderly
parents: quite probable ;o)

Subject: [dba-Tech] trojan.win32.generic!bt - how to remove
Hi again,
My dad is having trouble with this trojan. Vipre reports
trojan.win32.generic!bt, and Dad thinks he has instructed Vipre to clean the
bugger - three days in a row, now. But, every time the scan is run, it
keeps reporting the trojan.
Dad originally called me because his Office shortcut toolbar was misbehaving
- when he clicked on the icon for Word, he got the message that the program
could not be started. We did a couple of system restores and got to a place
where the shortcut toolbar worked.
In the meantime, he reported repeated instances of the message that Windows
had recently recovered from a serious error, and did he want to send the
report. I think he clicked Send one time, and something strange happened,
but I don't know what - all of this is going on over the phone, I can't see
his screen, and he generally says things like "Oh, there's that little
thingy again, shall I get rid of it?" and sometimes before I've been able to
say "Tell me what little thingy you're talking about, Dad," he's already
clicked some choice, so it's difficult to be sure about what's been going on
on his screen. Now the Windows has recovered message pops up a bunch and it
takes many clicks to tell it to go away.
It was during that part of the process that he told me Vipre had reported
this trojan three days in a row. We did go read a report that indicated
that the clean command had been canceled. It is not clear to me whether Dad
did or did not instruct Vipre to clean this little bugger. Right now, he is
running a Vipre scan and I am supposedly returning to my work of grading my
students' papers - we'll be in touch again after the scan. But I thought
I'd send out a call for help. Hey, John Bartow, are you there?

Hi John,
I'm going to go have a look, probably tomorrow. He says he has told
Vipre to clean the trojan, but nothing happens. The log showed cleaning
action canceled. I can't really rely on Dad's report, because he may
overlook something necessary, like selecting the item to be cleaned, or,
having decided that cleaning was a good idea and Vipre is recommending
it, just closing the Vipre window believing somehow that the program has
already done the cleaning. As you say, a partially cleaned infection
that needed one more step to be complete is a real likelihood.

Well, here is a product which can be used to edit images via program control
within your PHP, ASP.Net, .Net, Perl and Java applications:

Hi Stuart:
That's site looks excellent.
I thought I had really discovered something when I ran across this little
app. Thanks for the heads up Stuart and I think this will be useful for
creating and automating images both in and out of web sites.

Hi Stuart:
PS: There is also another editor which can be used online/web based. Have
you ever tried using this one?

I wonder if there are any similar feature in or planned for ASP.Net?

I haven't used that at all, but phpinfo tells me that it is installed on our web servers and I see
that WAMP on my development system has php_gd2 ticked on the Extensions list.
A quick look at http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.image.php shows that it doesn't just
manipulate existing images, it lets you create images with text, line, arc etc functions so you
could use it to create graphs/charts on the fly in your web page from various data sources.
Good find! I definitely will have to play with this when I get some spare time.

And it turns out there are lots of scripts/classes out there which take much of the work out of
it. http://www.google.com/search?q=php+gd+charting+library (About 44,700 results )
Some interesting links:

Yeah, Stuart there are a lot of great pieces of code available but 6 or 7
years ago good chart code was in slim supply. There is some incredible stuff
out there, now... ;-) ...but keep the list coming.

And it turns out there are lots of scripts/classes out there which take much
of the work out of
it. http://www.google.com/search?q=php+gd+charting+library (About 44,700

Some interesting links:
pChart

Message-ID: <1DE81B5996634D418D0AB2B110E031A8@salvationomc4p>
If you press [Ctrl]+A, you select the entire document, except the headers, footers, footnotes, etc. If you're in the header/footer section or the footnotes section, pressing [Ctrl]+A will select everything in that section, but nothing in the actual document.
I can come up with a macro to do it all, but is there an existing shortcut I don't know about that will select everything?

As a company, we sell our old laptops and desktops to a recycling company, who will either rob all the useful parts to make Frankenstein PCs, or strip them for the components.
Personally, I've still got my last two PCs at home. One is a very useful footrest (although I was thinking of using the case and making a media server out of it), and the other collects dust like you wouldn't believe :-)

I moved the Properties and Project windows -- they are dockable. Instead of staying slim, they're not stretched between the left and right margins. Why and how do I fix it?

Already seen that one -- I'm missing something -- when I get close to the
corner (edge), the window gets real wide. I'll look at it again tomorrow
with fresh eyes.
I said not, but I mean now -- they're now stretched between the left and
right margins.

You guys are smart so maybe you can help.
According to Twitcker,
++++++
The normal displayed tickers are twelve, but you could de- or increase it
(from 6 to 30).
Just add to http://twitcker.com/ticker/HIVHope.js a ?count=NUMBER,
example:
http://twitcker.com/ticker/HIVHope.js?count=20
++++++
I have the .js on my site as I couldn't figure out how to modify the one on
Twitcker to show my colors etc.
Right now, there are 9 Tweets at http://twitter.com/HIVHope. I wanted to
experiment with the number, so I added
http://hivhope.net/ticker/HIVHope.js?count=6 as you'll see if you look at
the source in http://www.hivhope.net/includes/header.htm (vs the place it
is included: http://hivhope.net)
However, it didn't change the count. When I look at the .js that I copied
from Twitcker, all 9 Tweets are included there. Logic says that even when my
friend adds more Tweets, they won't be included because they are being
pulled from the .js instead of Twitter - which makes the whole thing moot.
What am I missing?
Can you tell I know nothing about .js?

What do you want to do?

Don't need to download it, it's my site. I've got the background color taken

updates.

Hi Kathryn:
I will make the assumption that it is as you say you are not a JavaScript
expert...
This piece of code is not that simple if you need to do some major changes
on it. It is not just JavaScript but JQuery...which is an advanced superset
of JavaScript. (Well worth learning if you wish to go that route...here is a
link to a basic doc tutorial site: http://docs.jquery.com/Tutorials)
It would take a bit of time describe what you need. I will send you a
formatted version of the code so you can actually work with it
(http://www.sendspace.com/file/ra37g6).
If you do not already have a copy I would suggest Programmer's Notepad
(http://www.pnotepad.org/download/) as it is one of the easiest editors to
use.
Line 8 is where the JQuery JavaScript code is acquired (fron Google...
Google just supplies storage for the latest versions). Lines 25 is your CSS
script that is pushed straight into the page...so you can make any
adjustment you need there. Line 194 is your page Body code also pushed
straight into the page...this I would assume is where you make changes to
the layout and content. Most of the rest of the code handles the scrolling
and the menu...
That's the basics...hope it helps.
Jim

I know absolutely nothing about js or jquery. All I've done is search for
the colors and replace them. What I'm trying to ask is, is there something
in the .js that I'm using that does an on-the-fly update to the Tweets that
are embedded there - I previously said: "When I look at the .js that I
copied from Twitcker, all 9 Tweets are included there. Logic says that even
when my friend adds more Tweets, they won't be included because they are
being pulled from the .js instead of Twitter - which makes the whole thing
moot."
If there is something there that does this on-the-fly, then the only thing
to solve is why adding http://hivhope.net/ticker/HIVHope.js?count=6 didn't
change the number of Tweets showing.
What you sent looks even more complicated than the Twicker code, and *also*
has the Tweets embedded, so still has the on-the-fly question remaining.

Hi Kathryn:
JQuery is a series of imbedded functions...look up "how to use and create
JQuery functions" lots of tutorials out there...and you should learn all
this stuff. ;-)
I am not sure there is not enough code there to automate the process of
adding and updating twitts on the fly. But, within code all it would take is
to have the contents of line 194 (the page body html code) replaced. (If you
are using an editor to view the code make sure 'wrap' is turned on.) The
page Body is just being used as a data storage area and the code just cycles
through the contents and displays it on the marquee. (I would have probably
used JSON (A small JavaScript database) for that purpose as now how are you
going to be able to be able to display the rest of page?
Obviously, this code was taken from some operational location. If I could
take a look at that then it might be easier to figure out and to add the
appropriate pieces.
Any very rough example of replacing the Body contents via AJAX code would
be; Given: (note: this is just air code off the top...)

Message-ID:
In 2003, you can select a table and convert it to text, quite easily -- there's a command for it: Covert Table To Text. I can't find this command in 2007 or 2010. I can't find a reference to it in Help either. Is it still around? I used it alot in 2003.
Thanks!

In 2010 at least, on the Table Tools -> Layout ribbon under Data, there is Convert to Text button.

Subject: [dba-Tech] Calculating Six Sigma - Please critique - Mathematicians
where are you
Message-ID:
Hello All,
I have to calculate a Six Sigma value and I have written a function for SQL
Server to calculate it.
>From what I have read, Six Sigma should really be looked up against a set of
values but I also think that it can be approximated using the formula at the
following link http://www.symphonytech.com/articles/sixsigma.htm.
The calculation is credited to Schmidt and Launsby 1997
Can I ask your assistance for the following
1) Are the calculations correct?
2) Would you rename the variables to more appropriate values that are still
readable by non-math experts
Here is the short version and then below I have also pasted my complete
function. X, Y, and Z are the three static values in the Schmidt and
Launsby formula.
SET @X = 0.8406
SET @Y = 29.37
SET @Z = 2.221
SET @DPM= 1000000 / @OrderQty * @DefectQty
SET @NaturalLogOfDPM= log(@DPM)
SET @NaturalLogOfDPMTimesZ = @NaturalLogOfDPM * @Z
SET @CalculatedValueForSQR = @Y - @NaturalLogOfDPMTimesZ
SET @SQROfCalculatedValue = SQRT(@CalculatedValueForSQR)
SET @Result = @X + @SQROfCalculatedValue
Thanks
Mark
Here is the entire SQL Server udf
Create FUNCTION ufn_MB_CalcSixSigma
(
@OrderQty NUMERIC(12,4),
@DefectQty NUMERIC(12,4)

It has been years since I have worked with these variable sets. Given a
quick look they look like they should do the task. I will assume that you
have tested the results against a series of calculations that you already
have known values.
This UFD calculation asks the question; is this used a lot by the clients
and is there a noticeable performance impact on high volumes as this type of
math calculations are not really MS SQL forte. I might be more inclined call
an external routine...
Maybe you should use descriptive names if you will ever have to go back into
the code months later.
It does seem that you are working on some interesting projects.
Jim
